Champions Onine

The usual baddies that plague the free-to-play world of Champions are out in full force, but we’ve also got some amazing new content that will put you face-to-face with some very unsavory critters and plunge you into even more challenging and engaging missions.

Accessible and free to all players, Aftershock spans six weekly issues that take you on an exciting adventure through which you’ll encounter new creatures, environments and an intriguing story. Earn special Comic Series Rewards and Item Drops as you play! Visit the Comic Series page to find out more.

Rise up and fight the power! Travel through the Trans-dimensional Portal to Multifaria and help the Resistance Fighters bring down the sinister Citizen Harmon and his security state. Meet new allies, battle new enemies and earn Resistance-themed Perks, Costume Unlocks, Rewards, Items and more!

Every hero should have a place to call home. Heroic Hideouts come in four themed sets—Basement, Cave, Moon and Sanctum—and allow you to customize and show off your hero’s unique style. Put your decorating powers to the test and then invite your friends over to see your work!

Whether you’re in the coordinating stages of your Supergroup strategy, are in the very midst of team combat or are looking for ways to enhance your roleplaying, the newly integrated Vivox Voice Chat system allows you to stay connected and participate in the Champions Online community in even more ways.
